What's involved
Rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets, birds and reptiles are often seen in a separate appointment, sometimes by a vet with extra training in these animals.
Prices can differ by animal: a hamster or guinea pig may cost less than a bird or a reptile. Check which price applies to your pet.
Each price is taken from the practice's own website or price list. Prices change, so the practice's own quote is the one that counts.
